Lizards! Tribal style henna tattoo

I would love to give credit where credit is due .. and this great lizard pattern is not my own design.
It is incredibly popular!! A great tribal style design.

I really like the way its riding along the back of this lovely girl... so.. if you drew this pattern, my hat is off to you. If you know who did.. please post a comment on the blog so we can give a link to the artist.

This photo was taken at BLU.. a great salon in Historic Five Points, Riverside, Jacksonville.. where you can get henna -ed every Saturday. It's best to call for an appointment if you want a complex design. You can reach Ann George at 904-993.7466.

Stay tuned.. I have photos of the June 2006 Jamila henna coming soon.

Celebrating Pregnancy with a Henna Tattoo for the Belly

It is always an honor & a pleasure to be invited to do henna in celebration of the birth of a child.

The couple who came for mehndi had a very clear idea of what they wanted... and they also brought photos!

The father of the baby took lots of pictures as the henna was being applied... and I was able to take this one of the final result.

As always, i spoke with the mother before I made the paste to be sure she did not have any allergies to any of the ingredients in the henna paste.

Fine Line Henna Palms at BLU - Jacksonville Tattoo

I am so happy to have just received my first shipment of Jamila Henna. This is fresh, fresh henna from the June harvest.. and so finely ground that I just open the box.. and mix the powder right up.
This very finely ground henna makes the most remarkably smooth paste making it easy to quickly accomplish designs that would take longer with a paste of variable consistancy.
Look at this photo of a traditional Indian pattern.. note the fine criss cross lines on the fingers. This tattoo was done using the traditional henna cone, not a squeeze bottle or a cone with a special metal tip.
